This West Seattle home was designed to capture sweeping views of the Sound, and the lower-level remodel ensures those vistas are enjoyed to their fullest. By removing walls and adding structural beams, the space was opened up, creating a seamless flow between the TV space, the pool table, and outdoor living with hot tub access—all while maximizing sightlines to the water. Continuity was key in the design. New flooring and millwork were carefully matched to the main level, ensuring the renovation feels like a natural extension of the home. A clever addition—a built-in dumbwaiter—makes entertaining effortless, allowing caterers to move food and drinks from the main kitchen down to the lower level with ease. The result is a bright, open, and functional space perfectly tailored for fitness, games, and gatherings with family and friends.

Alison & Eric have been my clients for almost 5 years. We began working together , shortly after they purchased their home. About a year later, when Alison was pregnant with their first child they reached out to me to design the nursery & transform the garage into an office/ lounge. Later we did a total makeover in their living room, and recently I completed the nursery for their newest addition the the family. For me, as a designer with a great passion for the home, I absolutely love to be able to build long term relationships with the people I work with. Seeing my clients grow and transform and being there to ensure that their spaces, the backdrop of their lives, continue to nourish & inspire them. Photography by Roberto Garcia

The design for this home in Palo Alto looked to create a union between the interior and exterior, blending the spaces in such a way as to allow residents to move seamlessly between the two environments. Expansive glazing was used throughout the home to complement this union, looking out onto a swimming pool centrally located within the courtyard. Within the living room, a large operable skylight brings in plentiful sunlight, while utilizing self tinting glass that adjusts to various lighting conditions throughout the day to ensure optimal comfort. For the exterior, a living wall was added to the garage that continues into the backyard. Extensive landscaping and a gabion wall was also created to provide privacy and contribute to the sense of the home as a tranquil oasis.
